Around the NHL: Part XVI - Born on the First of July

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Well you write something--did you mean for us to not take it seriously and read it un-literally?

As far as Johnson goes he's kind of an exceptional case (and his goofball parents have a lot to do with his problems) and I hardly think Shatty's run through all his cash. What I would suspect is he has his agent and financial advisers and quite likely has seeded some of his earnings into other investments and has made even more. That I would think is more the general trend with most athletes these days--apart maybe from boxers who have been notoriously screwed throughout history. But again as we know Kevin is getting millions more from the Rangers in the next four years + Tampa's paying him now too.

Look---I made less than $2 mil between the mid 70's and early 2013 when I retired. I know exactly how much because I applied for Social Security and they send you a form detailing your earnings from year to year and all you have to do is add it all up. I'm doing very much okay (or better than most people I know) with pensions and everything else even if my earnings don't even approach what Kevin's made by age 30. In that regard he is a ****ing lucky guy. I've lost jobs along the way and I know plenty of people who have lost everything from losing their jobs. What age it happens for instance can really **** someone over. He's not a Ranger anymore sure--but he's still living the life of a very successful pro athlete. He should be just fine financially when his hockey career is over.

Thank you for this post, seriously.

Priskie sent down to the AHL

Wonder if he regrets signing with Carolina. That D Corp is real crowded.

 

[Avery16]

I just can not believe the talent Carolina is assembling.

Did Bokk's value drop? What happened?

f***ing love Wilson

****ing love Wilson

It's dumb--losing your cool over getting chirped though....and he should be careful about getting too aggressive with the on ice officials. You can get suspended for that. One can only wonder how Sean Avery if he were still playing today would have f***ed around with Wilson's head if he loses his shit that easily. Even dumber though were Todd Rierden's postgame comments on the incident--how he thought it was out of line for Brind'amour or any coach to be talking to opposing players during a game. Really? Like Todd Rierden's marginal NHL career gives him license to make up unwritten rules about how other coaches should behave. f*** off Todd. You walked into a hell of a gig and not all that deservingly.

I am excited to see what happens to AV's system without a hall of fame goalie backstopping it.

That annoys me a bit lol, what insight does Barnaby have into how JSH is to coach?

Hank Williams or Carrie Underwood >>> Green Day.

Hank Williams or Carrie Underwood >>> Green Day.

When I first heard them on the radio, my first thought was "Who is ripping off The Clash?"

 

[Trxjw]

If we were going to take a shot on an enigmatic winger on waivers I'd prefer Sprong over Ho-Sang. I don't see room for either at this point though.

could careless about them working with the nhl. I just enjoyed the when september ends pun lol

The NHL should partner with that freaky little alien Billie Eilish for their music. Attract the young folk.

I legitimately laughed out loud at the bolded.

 

[Overcast]

If we could turn ADA into an NHL regular after he bounced around to however many teams..Ho-Sang is still on his first. Would be a cake walk for us to turn him into a regular.

Newport head coach Brent Thompson played on the Springfield Falcons with Chad Kilger, who played on the Canadiens with Donald Audette, who played on the Sabres with Barnaby. C'mon guys, THINK.
